Task 23 - 6 Minute Challenge - Initial Creative Ideas

6 Minute Challenge - Our Group's Initial Ideas

• Bus stop
• Hat
• Martin Klebba

During our making process of a film opening we came up with various ideas to create a film opening using the three things we were given which are mentioned above. At first we all contributed our ideas and then came to a conclusion altogether of what the film opening can be by co-orporating the bus stop, hat and the name Martin Klebba. Our initial ideas started off with a random hat at a bus stop and a normal ordinary guy walking towards the bus stop as the guy approaches he realises the hat and picks it up to have a closer look at it. During this, a bus will approach the bus stop and will make an emergency stop with a screeching sound effect in the background. The bus will stay at the bus stop for a few seconds and then you will hear the man screaming after this there will be an eerie dead silence as the bus drives off as normal.We are then given a close up of the hat on the floor with the initials 'MK' inside the hat. As we spoke and developed our ideas we came to the conclusion that the opening camera shot will be an established shot of the empty bus stop with a hat sitting on the seats at the bus stop. We then came up with the idea of changing our camera shot/angle to a close up of the random guy's feet walking up to the bus stop - there will be a change in sound from an everyday traffic noise to a foley sound of the man's footsteps. As the opening of the film progresses we are not shown the face of the man and just see until his arms.
